This recognition by the State Department of Public Instruction means much to the graduate of Wilberforce who are preparing themselves to teach as graduates from this department are entitled to a teachers four year provisional certificate without examination. After twenty four months of successful teaching the holder is entitled to a life certificate of the same grade good anywhere in the state and recognized in thirty four other states.

Students who graduated prior to 1915 and who had completed a four year high school course before beginning the two year normal course of this department will likewise benefit by the arrangement and many who will find that by slight addition to their professional work they may become entitled to the provisional certificate without examination.

With the added facilities of gymnasium and well equipped recitation halls Wilberforce now offers splendid opportunities to prospective teachers.
